School Type: ccc
Other (Strengths, weaknesses, hooks, etc.): major pre-reqs completed excluding ling20, math70, and cs35L. 1 semester of one language + 2 semesters of another for foreign language requirement
gpa below 25th percentile of past years’ admits. TAP offered at a school in my district but didn’t do it
Where else did you apply/TAG?: UCSC(accepted CS), UCSB(accepted data sci), Cal(waitlisted data sci)
I suppose I will also post my stats as an admitted student:
Major: Physics (declared as a Math/CS major at my current school)
GPA: 4.0
Extracurriculars: published research (not math/CS/Physics related), leadership in an outreach STEM club, TA for classes since my second semester, student paper, student gov’t
Awards: dean’s list, presidential scholar semifinalist, national merit commended, some HS athletic awards
Gender: male
Residency: technically in-state even though I don’t live in Cali anymore
School type: private OOS 4-year
Strengths: high GPA at a good private school, all major pre-reqs completed (assuming these courses transfer), seem to be pretty far along the major requirements with some upper level classes, previously admitted to UCLA as a FR in 2020.
Weaknesses: essays (I am an awful writer), ECs aren’t as great as they seem
Where else have I applied:
Accepted: UCLA
Rejected: UCB , UChicago
Waiting: Northwestern, Cornell, Yale, Duke, Penn, Rice, JHU, UCSD, USC
At this point unless I get into Yale or Penn I’ll be heading to UCLA this fall. I applied to so many schools because I assumed going to an OOS 4-year would kill my chances for UCs (UCLA had a 5% admit rate for people in this category last year).
Good morning everyone! Pretty late but I got accepted!

Would you be transferring from an out-of-state four-year college? The A/R from this set of colleges is atrocious. Whereas UCLA accepted 19.1% from the transfer cohort in 2021, the subcohort of out-of-state students was only 4.2% – and undoubtedly most of these were from four-years. Priority is given to California community colleges first, then to UC inter-transfers, and so on. All the best to you.

Congrats to everyone again. The wait almost killed many of us but well worth it.
